Brand "Low Moor"

The Speedwell, Pierce, Ivanhoe, and
Liberty are cold-blast, charcoal irons
from red and brown hematite ores.
The Lynchburg, Grocer, Princess, and
Low-Moor brands are hotDlast, coke
irons. The Grocer and Low Moor are
i.om local brown hematite ores, the
Lynchburg from brown hematite and
magnetic, and the ores that produce
the Princess brand are hematites and
magsIese mined on the furnace pro-
perty.
1t will be noticed that all the tests

The Canal Across Panama,

PASANA, November l4.-Senor TANGO
ment on the Isthmus, respecting canal
affairs, has recently completed his report
on the canal. Senior Armero commences
by saying: II have carefully travelled
over the whole line, have formed an
opinion respecting the work, and am now
in possession of correct data as to the tech
DicRi and practical work of the canal. The
annual reports presented by Count De
Lesseps to the shareholders are the only
Official and reliable documents within the
reach of the public, but whether it be
from the concise terms il which they are
couched, or the fact that they are in
tended TO inspire the shareholders with
greater confidence in The canal, they are
partial in their character and are not so
precise sc one would desire. Neither, in
my opinion, do they furnish an exact
idea OF the situation. On the other hand,
the writings of the pessimisss and de-
tractors of the undertaking are exaggerated
in sn inverse sense and are worthy of no
credit whatever" He states that to COM
plete the canal the enormous sum of $685.
299, 600 will be required. Senior Armer0
says that it is absolutely certain that ii
will be very difficult to raise this tre-
merdous sum and that it is useless to deny
that the financial condition nf the com
psny is serious, is involved aDo alarming.
In conclusion he states that after careful
investigation he believes that the traffic
through the canal, should it be com
plsted, would be much greater than has
been estimated

Opinions of the LOndOn Press on the Affair
Arrested Rioters in Court.
LONDON November 1.-THE Times hopes
the rioters in custody, especially the ring
leaders Will receive exemplary punishment.
Behind these, lit continues, stand the
greater criminals who in the press and 9TH
erwise, labor to convert the English Snn-
dav into q criminal food for which the

The Daily Telegraph says: "The history

is absurd to talk of the right of meeting
been for an instant in jeopardy. The power
of sggitators and rioters must be summsr-
lily checked or the fatal contagion of An

The Daily Chronical thinks that the
police acted with IorbeRrance. 1--WE can
not" il adds, Justify the action of the
parsders: but the chief blame rests with
the authorities for provoking conflict by
the invasion o. long cherished p1plic

The Standard says: "Tbe Trafalgar So uare

Water Famine in Illinois.

CHICAGO, November 1.-The probabili-
ties of a water famine in Central and South
ern Illinois are becoming alarming. At
SpTir efeld, up to and including yesterday,
there is deficiency of Is. 10 inches of rain
fall for the year as compared with The
average precipitation for the came portion
OF the year for the last eight years. Up
to July there was a slight excess over the
average; that the deficiency has all accrued
since then. On account of the long drouth
preceding the October dryness the water
supply is at minimum. A United States
Deputy Marshal, iustireturned from Ham
lton County, says he found the farmers
hauling water ten miles for culinary uses.
He relates q case in Wayne County. A
farmer who is q great breeder of cattle
and geese, has about 200 Of these birds on
bis farm, and has to haul water three miles
for them. The Chicago and Alton road
runs daily water trains through Springfield
south, and there is scarcely road in South
ern Illinois that IS not more or less en-
gagged In the same business, some of them
employing all the facilities they can COM
mand for that purpose. The city of Litch-
field, which has an excellent water supply,
Is deriving a handsome revenue from the
sale oflwater. at s..6xed price per tank to
be delivered to the towns along the roads
passing through there. 1t is evident that
unless relief arrives before hard freezing
sets in actual distress will follow.

A New Texas Railroad.

Ell PAso, November 1.-THE FL Paso
and Northern Railway and Telegraph
Company has Just been chartered under
the laws of Texas with a capital stock of
$500, 600. The incorporators are ex-senator
William Window, of Minnesota, e1.Sena-
tor Stephen W. Dorsey and John Riley. of
New Mexico, and n. l.. Detwiler, Sam
Schultz, John F. Bowling, w. j. Fewel,
F. A. Warner, F. II. Clarke and I. n. De-
Twiler, of FL Paso. The road will run
from FL Paso, northward to the White
Oaks coal fslds in New Mexico. thence to
Las Vegas, thence through the Pau Handle
of Texas to connect with the Rock Island
or some other road now building through
that country. One of the inc0rporators
said that Senator Window was now in
England trying to sell q portion of the
compsny's stock. Window and Dorsey
ara expected to come here in few weeks,
when a meeting will be held. It is pro-
posed to elect Senator Window President.
The first thing will be to buy the franchise
of the FL Paso, st. Louis and Chicago
Railway Company, which was chartered
two years ago and which graded i've miles
of track on the route which the new csm-
pany proposes TO pursue. Several of the
directors OF the old company are among
the incorporators of the new. The pro-
posed road will be of vast Importance to
this city, since it will bring cheap fuel,
the want Of which has thus far prevented
the development of manufacturing to any
great extent.

The Grown Princes Condition.

Berlin, November 14.-Drs. Bergman,
Gerhsrdt and Tobold have adopted the re-
port of DR., Schmidt, in which the extirpa-
ton Of the Crown Princes larynx is urged.
The Grown Prince has not yet consented
to accept this plan Of treatment. Prince
William, who has just returned from a
visit to his father, at San Reno, was re-
celved at noon by the Emperor. Kleine's
Journal says that Doctors Bergman and
Schmidt hold that laryngotomy is newt
able In the case OF the Crown Prince.
They would resort to tracheotomy to save
the Princes life in case suffocation was
threatened. They maintain the opinion
that il would have been better to have
performed the operation months ago, and
assert that the delay has lessened the
chance OF success. although they do not
regard the Princes recovery as impossib BILE.
DIR. Mackenzie left San Reno to-day for
London. The swelling In the Crown Princes
throat continues TO diminish.

Police Patrol Boxes.

The police board yesterday afternoon
awarded the contract for building the
patrol boxes to Charlton Eden, his bid of
$675 being the lowest. There will be twelve
boxes in all, three for the the sergeants
and nine for patrolmen. The sergeants
will be in the neighborhood of their boxes,
which will be centrally located, large
portion OF the time receiving reports from
the patrolmen. The affairs OF the police
department, with these boxes, will be con-
Quoted in a much more systematic manner
than at present. The sergeauts' boxes will
be 5x6; the patrolmen's 21zx3. They will
have direct connection with the Central
station, where switch board, similar TO
that in use at FIRE headquarters, will be
err cted in few dBys.
